    • Price: FanDuel -170 has 63.0% break-even; Pinnacle -167/+153 devigs to 61.3% (fair -158).
    • Starter ledger +7pp: Fried xFIP 3.59 versus Martinez 4.47; xwOBA .246 versus .307; L5 confirms.
    • Aaron Judge (.372 wOBA, .399 xwOBA) is on the IL; the one-point lineup penalty may understate his absence.
    Fade the Arm
    • Nick Martinez: 3.98 xERA vs 3.10 ERA, 107.9 xFIP-minus, and 5.27 last-three ERA signal regression risk.
    • Martinez's allowed xwOBA jumps from .2708 in TTO1 to .3501 in TTO2; the Yankees lineup is confirmed and active.
    • Most likely loss: Judge-less New York strands traffic while Tampa's fresh bullpen protects a low-scoring game after Martinez exits.
    Parity Desk
    • Fried xFIP 3.59 vs Martinez 4.47: signed +0.88; Yankees vs RHP xWoba .3248 clears the .315 offense gate.
    • Ledger: Rays vs LHP xWoba .285 gives -0.50 runs, capped at -0.40 Partial; Yankees 0.00; neither bullpen meets fatigue thresholds.
    • Rays are 4-1 over their last five and won 5-2 yesterday; recent offensive form can overwhelm the matchup ledger.
    ProphetX No Vig MLB
    • Yankees .3169 xwOBA versus RHP clears the .315 offensive gate; Rays .3135 versus LHP avoids a platoon debit; bullpen fatigue is zero.
    • Most likely loss: Martinez outduels the Yankees lineup and Tampa Bay converts a close postseason game against the home side.

    ELITE MLB MASTER FADE & -EV TRAP DETECTION ENGINE v1.0
    • Martinez owns a 5.45 K/9 season mark and 6.15 K/9 over his last five starts.
    • The listed 4+ contract is cheaper than the comparable sportsbook over-3.5 price, creating a measurable pre-fee edge.
    • Polymarket's 0.07 fee coefficient reduces the gross edge to roughly 2.8% if charged at execution.
    MLB HunterV2
    • 56% model estimate versus FanDuel +142, implying 41.3%.
    • Martinez's 2026 strikeout rate was 15.1%, while the confirmed Yankees lineup struck out 24.2% versus right-handers.
    • Martinez's season K/9 is only 5.45, so the recent uptick may be noise.

    Selective Pressure
    • Max Fried owns a 2.80 ERA and .246 xwOBA against; the Yankees starter is the strongest run-suppression input.
    • Rays vs left-handed pitching: .285 xwOBA; posted lineups are confirmed for both clubs.
    • Nick Martinez carries a .307 xwOBA against and 3.98 xERA, so early Yankees contact can break the under quickly.
    Deep Book
    • PROJECTION. Fried allows .246 expected wOBA with 2.51 xERA; Martinez allows .307 with 3.98 xERA. Both starters confirmed at 4:17pm PT.
    • The under loses with 8 or more runs; Yankee Stadium carries a 121 home-run park factor.

    • Yankees projected lineup owns a 24.1% strikeout rate versus right-handed pitching.

    • Martinez has a 5.45 K/9 season baseline, rising to 6.15 over his last five and 7.24 over his last three.
    • The confirmed Yankees lineup supplies nine active participants; Martinez is confirmed active and not on the IL.
    • Martinez's own 15.1% season strikeout rate is low, and the matchup adjustment is doing much of the work.

    Under Current
    • TB under 3 plus NYY under 3.5 implies 6.5 combined runs, below the posted 7.
    • ProphetX also offers 1st-5th Under 3.5 at +114, reinforcing a low-scoring early-game shape.
    • Tampa Bay's .285 xwOBA versus lefties is solid enough to punish Fried if his command slips.

    • Yankee Stadium's 121 HR park factor adds meaningful conversion upside; 8 mph wind is cross-field (R to L), not a strong suppressor.
    • Confirmed batting second; the 22¢ HR price remains internally coherent with Rice 2+ TB at 46¢, since HR is a subset of 2+ TB.

    • Pinnacle's sharp full-game reference is 7.0 runs (-110/-102); Kalshi's Rays team-total midpoint is 3.0, so this targets the specific lineup-versus-starter split rather than the game-total desk.

    • Yankees -1 wins by 2+; a 1-run Yankees win returns stake; a tie or Rays win loses.
    • ProphetX prices Yankees -1 at 51.22¢ (-105) versus Yankees -1.5 at 40.65¢ (+146), only a 10.57¢ gap.
    • Pinnacle makes New York the moneyline favorite at -166, supporting the favorite-side selection without a projection model.
    • This is not a projection play: Yankees -1 still loses on a Yankees tie or any Rays win, and the push is only a refund.
